3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES
IRRITATION TO EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. MAY
BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation
develops.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire:
Flash point: 12 °C (54 °F) CC
Auto ignition temperature: 399 °C (750 °F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 2.0; uel: 12.7
Listed fire data is for Pure Isopropyl Alcohol.
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above.
Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire or explosion. Vapors can flow along surfaces to
distant ignition source and flash back. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep
fire exposed containers cool, dilute spills to non-flammable mixtures, protect personnel
attempting to stop leak and disperse vapors.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and
equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,
vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible
materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray
to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from
exposures.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any
area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate
from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static
sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and
equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous
when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and
precautions listed for the product. Small quantities of peroxides can form on prolonged
storage. Exposure to light and/or air significantly increases the rate of peroxide formation. If
evaporated to a residue, the mixture of peroxides and isopropanol may explode when exposed
to heat or shock.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
For Isopropyl Alcohol (2-Propanol):
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 400 ppm (TWA)
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
200 ppm (TWA), 400 ppm (STEL), A4 - not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below
the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can
control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the
general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full facepiece respirator with organic vapor cartridge may
be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, airsupplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygendeficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as
appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Neoprene and nitrile rubber are recommended materials.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

between 1 and 10 days. When released into water, this material may biodegrade to a
moderate extent. This material is not expected to significantly bioaccumulate. When released
into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with photochemically
produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air, this material is expected to have a
half-life between 1 and 10 days. When released into the air, this material may be removed
from the atmosphere to a moderate extent by wet deposition.
